About the Course

This course will show how one can treat the Internet as a source of data. We will scrape, parse, and read web data as well as access data using web APIs. We will work with HTML, XML, and JSON data formats in Python. This course will cover Chapters 11-13 of the textbook “Python for Everybody”. To succeed in this course, you should be familiar with the material covered in Chapters 1-10 of the textbook and the first two courses in this specialization. These topics include variables and expressions, conditional execution (loops, branching, and try/except), functions, Python data structures (strings, lists, dictionaries, and tuples), and manipulating files. This course covers Python 3....

This course was really interesting and did a good job introducing complicated topics in usefully simplified form. It was a pleasure to listen to the instructor and I got everything I wanted out of it.

Great course. The lectures are clear and thorough. The assignments are challenging yet doable. The only thing I would like is to see more assignments to get more practice with the techniques learned.

Assignments could have been harder. That is most code was as easy as copy paste from sample programs.

感觉对于Python coding能力没有较好的训练,作业大部分是在已有复杂代码基础上做点小改变。很多Python的基础概念没有讲得很清楚。要真的对Python有个基本掌握还需要自己再另外学习很多

A practical course with easy to understand examples. My only grudge is that it is not on Python3.
